On January 13th of this year I sustained a fall on the sidewalk on N Washington St. between 6th and 5th street. My shoulder was hurt when I broke the fall and is still sore as of 4/18/16. The fall was caused by ice on the drain cover crossing the sidewalk. The covers on that block are smooth aluminum with no grids for traction. It was covered by clear ice so I couldn't see it. A postal carrier was close behind me and he helped me to my feet. He said those drain covers were a hazard to him as well. I have waited thinking my right shoulder would improve but it has not. What is the city's policy for this kind of injury? I'd prefer not to have to pursue civil litigation to correct this.

Could someone please look at the broken sidewalk located on the street level at 1955 N. College Ave. The sidewalk was broken in several areas when the retention pond was built between Walnut and College. The sidewalk has been a hazard for years. Thanks.

I am a pedestrian who commutes to work about 1.3 miles northbound on Wooodlawn Monday-Friday. Usually I scurry quickly up that street as I'm running late; sometimes I jog. But once I get to the part of Woodlawn that borders Bryan Park, I am loathe to get myself onto the park trail during my hasty commute for a few reasons: 1. The Bryan Park trail is a park trail, not a sidewalk. 2. This trail doesn't go straight northward, so it is a waste of my time to follow it. 3. My commute is at 7:15am when few people are out, making things unnecessarily scary for trail users when I'm quickly approaching them from behind. This is especially true during colder months when it is dark out, and also when I'm carrying my umbrella, which looks not unlike some sort of a weapon. (Its just an Ikea umbrella.) This morning I was yelled at for the second time by another motorist who was displeased with my choosing to walk on Woodlawn Avenue northbound past Bryan Park. "There's a sidewalk over there!" he shouted. I had wanted to correct him and point out that its a park trail, but I didn't. Who knows which maniac who shouts at pedestrians from their car isn't more dangerous, you know? It would be great if there were a sidewalk that ran alongside Woodlawn Avenue past Bryan Park. I'm not the only person who chooses to walk up the road instead of the park trail, but I admit that there are not many of us, at least at 7:15am. Let me end by saying that I am not holding out hope for a sidewalk; this probably isn't a great concern for the city. But I can't guarantee that annoyed motorists will convince me to change my path, either. In any case: thank you for reading and considering my request. Have a nice day. Nicholas Roberts

I took a little tumble on the sidewalk downtown on Kirkwood this morning coming back from the bank. It's just starting to hurt so I thought I'd notify you encase something turns up broken later. I'm not a big fan of those brick sidewalks, they're uneven and slick in the rain and snow.

We have a sidewalk in front of our home that is a major tripping hazard. Tree roots have lifted the sidewalk almost 3 inches making a serious tripping hazard. I contacted the city about 18 months ago to request to be put on the 'fix list' with us paying for the concrete, but nothing has been done. Please can this be addressed soon. Thank you.

Thd sidewalk at the corner of 3rd St and Swain is in very bad condition. MAC restaurant used to be at that corner but Mother Bear's is now in that spot. I asked Mother Bear's who would fix the sidewalk and they thought it was the responsibility of the city. The sidewalk has been in bad shape for a long time and is a hazard to those of us who use it regularly to walk to campus.
